BEING IN A BAND

"Being in a band turns you into a child and keeps you there." Thom Yorke
I guess T.Y. is right. Being in a band brings you back to that primitive bond you have with your tribe of friends as you are a child. There's excitement and a bit of bumptiousness too. It's like sharing a secret and being proud of it. It's like smiling to each other with that knowing look when you catch your breath after you ran like hell from any boast you could have made. It's like "C'mon we know we kick ass". It's like you got each other's back. It's certainly more instinctive than many other relationships you'd ever find. And instinctive as it is it can get right in the depth of your bones. You become brothers. Especially if you started from scratch and made anything on your own forces. And that's our case. So that's where any change becomes quite deep and painful to face.
But it also takes time, patience, a good eye and a watering can to make things grow. You're not blood brothers. You're half-chosen half-destined brothers. I thank heaven for my brothers. The ones I had and the ones I have.And we're here to kick asses.
